Dear Alex,
I am writing to express my gratitude for your help on my English study.
I still remember that my English was so poor when you reached our class one year before. It’s you who told me lots of useful English learning skills and encouraged me to speak English out with great patience. But for your help, I couldn’t have been able to communicate with others so fluently now. Furthermore, during the process of getting along with you, I have learned so much foreign culture, which benefitted me a lot.
Thanks for your help again and I hope everything goes well with you in the future.
Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节 概要写作（满分25分）
阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Parents everywhere praise their kids. Jenn Berman, author of The A to Z Guide to Raising Happy and Confident Kids, says, "We've gone to the opposite extreme of a few decades ago when parents tended to be more strict." By giving kids a lot of praise, parents think they're building their children's confidence, when, in fact, it may be just the opposite. Too much praise can backfire and, when given in a way that's insincere, make kids afraid to try new things or take a risk for fear of not being able to stay on top where their parents' praise has put them.
Still, don't go too far in the other direction. Not giving enough praise can be just as damaging gas giving too much. Kids will feel like they're not good enough or that you don't care and, as a result, may see no point in trying hard for their accomplishments.
So what is the right amount of praise? Experts say that the quality of praise is more important than the quantity. If praise is sincere and focused on the effort not the outcome, you can give it as often as your child does something that deserves a verbal reward." We should especially recognize our children's efforts to push themselves and work hard to achieve a goal, "says Donahue, author of Parenting Without Fear: Letting Go of Worry and Focusing on What Really Matters. "One thing to remember is that it's the process not the end product that matters."
Your son may not be the best basketball player on his team. But if he's out there every day and playing hard, you should praise his effort regardless of whether his team wins or loses. Praising the effort and not the outcome can also mean recognizing your child when she has worked hard to clean the yard, cook dinner, or finish a book report. But whatever it is, praise should be given on a case-by-case basis and be proportionate(相称的) to the amount of effort your child has put into it.
【写作指导】
文章大意：父母对孩子的表扬过多过少都会带来不好的后果，恰当的表扬应着重表扬孩子做事过程中的努力而非结果，并建立在实际情况的基础上。
每段大意：
1. 现在的父母表扬孩子过多，会带来负面的影响，如孩子害怕尝试新事物或者害怕达不到父母的高期待等。
2. 过少的表扬也是有害的，会让孩子觉得自己不好，没有得到父母的关心或觉得自己的努力没有意义。
3. 正确的方式应该是注重赞美的质量而不是数量，注重孩子努力的过程而非结果 。
4. 表扬要适当，要根据实际情况。
【优秀范文】
Parents praise their children to promote their confidence, but too much praise may result in opposite effects. However, Kids may feel discouraged when not given enough praise. Actually, what really matters is the quality rather than quantity of praise, which should be sincere and concentrate on process instead of result. Praise offers encouragement and recognition, while it should be based on the fact and correspond with the effort.
